“Don't forget to tell how slimy this really is Johnnie. State Senator Albert ****esh, who represents the area in the Alaska State Senate, appeared at a meeting the Craig City Council was considering passing a resolution opposing this land transfer. Sen ****esh is also a board member of Sealaska Corp. At the council meeting, ****esh threatened the city of Craig with the fact he could withhold funding from the State to the City of Craig if they voted not to support the land transfer.

His exact quote........ "I am the state senator that represents Craig. I'm not a vindictive person," ****esh told the council. "I see you're going to have your 2010 capital projects on the table here tonight. And who's it going to go to? It's going to go to me. And to (Rep.) Bill Thomas, who is also a Sealaska board member. We have to be good neighbors."

‘There are times you are going to need my help and Bill Thomas' help," ****esh said. "And this is a time we need yours."

Unethical and probably illegal to boot. There is a lot to lose and Johnnie is right. This legislation needs to be stopped.” twodux
